Margaret Cho: Contoured Face

Asian women tend to have square or round face shapes, like comedian Cho. Because of this "I always contour Asian faces to give definition to the bones of the face," says Chang-Babaian. She recommends using two different shades of foundation for contouring -- one that matches your skin and one that's slightly darker. "When you use one color [of foundation], especially a lighter color, which is a tendency of Asian woman, it makes the face look wider and rounder," she says. Apply the darker shade where there are "natural indents in the skin," says Chang-Babaian -- typically the cheekbones and the sides of the nose then use the lighter shade everywhere else.
